History
The town, originally known as Cabarungan, was officially established as the town of Santo Niño by virtue of a Spanish Royal Decree dated November 27, 1897. In 1914, it was renamed Faire in honor of Don Manuel Faire, a prominent Ilocano immigrant who played a key role in advocating for the town's formal creation. The town later reverted to its original name in subsequent years.
